[seqfan] Re: Is there a limit on number of terms that a b-file can contain?

[Neil Sloane]

A million terms is too many for a b-file.

For a file that big you should upload an "a-file".  The same format,
but call it a000720.txt (say)

There is also a limit on how large a file you can upload. 2 or 3 megs, IIRC

Bureaucrats like myself can upload larger files
